What are the Factors of 574?

The numbers that divide 574 evenly are known as factors of 574.

 

A factor of 574 is a number that divides the number without remainder.

 

The factors of 574 are 1, 2, 287, and 574.

 

Negative factors of 574: -1, -2, -287, and -574.

 

Prime factors of 574: 2 and 287.

 

Prime factorization of 574: 2 × 287.

 

The sum of factors of 574: 1 + 2 + 287 + 574 = 864

How to Find Factors of 574?

Factors can be found using different methods. Mentioned below are some commonly used methods:

 

  • Finding factors using multiplication

     
  • Finding factors using division method

     
  • Prime factors and Prime factorization
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Finding Factors Using Multiplication

To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 574. Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 574 is the multiplication method.

 

Step 1: Multiply 574 by 1, 574 × 1 = 574.

 

Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 574 after multiplying 2 × 287 = 574

 

Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 574 are: (1, 574), (2, 287). All these factor pairs result in 574. For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.

Finding Factors Using Division Method

Dividing the given numbers with the whole numbers until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result as whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method -

 

Step 1: Divide 574 by 1, 574 ÷ 1 = 574.

 

Step 2: Continue dividing 574 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0.

 

574 ÷ 1 = 574

574 ÷ 2 = 287

 

Therefore, the factors of 574 are: 1, 2, 287, 574.

Prime Factors and Prime Factorization

The factors can be found by dividing it with prime numbers. We can find the prime factors using the following methods:

 

  • Using prime factorization
  • Using factor tree
     

Using Prime Factorization: In this process, prime factors of 574 divide the number to break it down in the multiplication form of prime factors till the remainder becomes 1.

 

574 ÷ 2 = 287

287 ÷ 287 = 1

 

The prime factors of 574 are 2 and 287.

 

The prime factorization of 574 is: 2 × 287.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Factor Tree

The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following step shows -

 

Step 1: Firstly, 574 is divided by 2 to get 287.

 

Step 2: Here, 287 is a prime number, so it cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 574 is: 2 × 287.

 

Factor Pairs: Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs.

 

Positive factor pairs of 574: (1, 574), (2, 287).

 

Negative factor pairs of 574: (-1, -574), (-2, -287).

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting the number itself and 1 is a factor

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children might forget to add the given number itself and 1 as a factor. The number itself and 1 are the factors for every word. Always remember to include 1 and the number itself.

 

For example, in factors of 574, 1 and 574 are also factors.

Problem 1

There are 574 pages in a book and 2 people want to read it equally. How many pages will each person read?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Each person will read 287 pages.

Explanation

To divide the pages equally, we need to divide the total pages with the number of people.

 

574/2 = 287

Problem 2

A rectangular garden has a length of 287 meters and the total area is 574 square meters. Find the width.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

2 meters.

Explanation

To find the width of the garden, we use the formula,

 

Area = length × width

 

574 = 287 × width

 

To find the value of width, we need to shift 287 to the left side.

 

574/287 = width

 

Width = 2.
